well, arrived in act3 as witcher lvl21 and couldn't dare go far into the swamp at night so I did some sewer/cemetary runs against fleders/gravirs and got me stamina lvl4 with better acid protection and then cleared the swamp around the tower incl cemetaurs, gravirs, kikimore warriors and the wolf boss. i sided with the vampires in the brotherl although I went for the "neutral", "asshole" version as well and that worked pretty well. yrden on lvl3 makes life so easy
i swapped the witcher +17 parry 5% against a +16 parry 5% armor 33% swordand got me my first run silver sword +12 5%dodgethen i did the yavin sewer quest that lead into gold rush. I read that you have to be a higher level (at least on insane) to survive it but I saved and thought, what the hell !cinfrid oil and swarog on silver, maribor forsest, blizzard, tawny, swallowwent past the first elves without attaking, I'm roleplaying
then the fight breaks out, stupid sigfried and his cutscene nearly gets me killed...well, I run past all of them, throw an aard, wait for recharge, lay an yrden could do a finish on one and then used group style. 80% of them got fear since they were already Yrden'd and were toast in no time.way to break up a cluster !lower sewer level was easy, just layed some traps and let them come in groups instead of charging forward.now I'm off to wyvern trophy boss and then it's time for salamandra ! hangmen's venom is waiting for them.
